The effect of inclusion of mechanically separated seal meat (MSSM) and seal protein hydrolyzate (SPH) on the formation of N-nitrosamines in chicken salami was investigated. Inclusion of MSSM (10 or 20%) or SPH (1 or 2%) in salami had little effect on the formation of N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) in the products. While the control sample contained 0.33 μg/kg NDMA, other samples contained 0.37 to 0.52 μg/kg of NDMA. Smoking of the samples resulted in small but an insignificant difference in the content of NDMA in the products. Some products contained traces of N-nitrosopiperidine, N-nitrosopyrrolidine and N-nitrosomorpholine, which were perhaps formed from interaction of amines in spice mixes with nitrite. Boiling, microwaving and frying had little effect on the content of N-nitrosamines; fried products contained up to 0.79 μg/kg NDMA.

Exposure to N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) has recently been linked to a childhood cancer cluster in Wilmington, MA, which is home to the Olin Chemical Superfund Site. When it was discovered in the 1990's that 22 children in a town of under 22,000 people got cancer, the community took action and pressed for an investigation into the possibility that chemicals from the Olin Chemical site had contaminated their water. This led to the eventual discovery that NDMA was present in the town water supply.

Article Synopsis
- N-Nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) is a harmful chemical that can be found in water, food, and medicine.
- Scientists study mice with different amounts of a protein called AAG to see how it affects their chances of getting sick or dying.
- They find that having too much or too little AAG changes how the body reacts to DNA damage, leading to either cancer or death, depending on the situation.

Infection by Opisthorchis viverrini, a risk factor for cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) may act through chronic inflammation, oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation (LPO)-related damage and growth stimuli. 1,N6-etheno-2'-deoxyadenosine (epsilondA), and 3,N4-etheno-2'-deoxycytidine (epsilondC), markers for LPO-derived DNA damage were highly increased in white blood cell and urine of O. viverrini-infected Thai patients.
